A micronucleus(MN) is formed during the metaphase/anaphase transition of mitosis(cell division). It may arise from a whole lagging chromosome(aneugenic event leading to chromosome loss) or an acentric chromosome fragment detaching from a chromosome after breakage(clastogenic event) which do not integrate in the daughter nuclei. 2, record 2, English, - micronucleus
